I've done what you suggested using Softy - I just used Arial for > the sake of testing.

Erm... then I dunno. The point is, MS Sans Serif is already loaded, the idea is for the SystemFont to override just this part of it. If it doesn't then I don't know. > How would I use the [FontSubtistutes] section to change the dialogue box font? I think something along the lines of MS Sans Serif=Whatever your font is I think you'll have to give it a unique internal name and install it like a regular font. Caveat: I've never done this, I'm just guessing it'll work. Maxim To unsubscribe, send a message to listar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe calmira_tips" in the body.
